I never been to detention, in my life. Do I bring pencils? Do I say sorry? This is so stressful. I told my mom to pick me up for detention please and she said
"Ok nice joke hon"
"No I'm serious"
"Wait.... really?"
"Yes. Mom..."
"Yeah just tell me the time to be there"
"7:00. Bye"
"...bye"
I don't know why she didn't believe me. It's weird. So after my last class Hope saw me and said 
"Your going the wrong way, the exit is that way"
"I'm staying after school"
"For what..."
"Detention"
"No way"
"Yes. I got detention"
"Are you ok?"
"Yes"
"You just seem different. I don't know how but your different"
"I'm exactly the same as usual. I'm going to be late for detention. Bye"
"...bye"

Why does everyone think that just because I'm me, I can't go to detention without people being shock about it. 
*Because your a good little boy*
No that's not the point
*Are you sure. You seem really upset by this*
No I'm just surprised by the reaction.
*Kid at this rate I'm going to blow your head up if you don't start being honest. It's only been a weak and I'm huge*
Shhhh I'm here
*No one but you can hear me*
Whatever
Ten minutes later
"... After you clean that up you'll rotate those then you'll wax those and you'll be done. I hope after this you'll learn your lesson"
"I have"
But the weirdest thing happened. 
"Sorry I'm late"
"That is quite alright Carol. You know you don't have to be here" 
"I know"
After that..we.. did everything she said. It was silent. I finally decided to make things a little less awkward. 
"Why"
"Why?"
"Why did you come here to help me?"
"I don't know. You tell me."
"You sound exactly like my brain, I mean conscience."
"That's a compliment right"
"I take back what I said"
She laughed, then I laughed. But this time,it felt....real.
We talked and talked like there was no tomorrow. We continued to do the work. Then we took a quick little break to have at least one conversation.
"I never got to do two things"
"And what were they?"
"One, was to say thx for helping me in our first class. Two, asked if you wanted to be friends"
"Ok, one, your welcome. Two, sure, sounds like fun."
"Great. It's weird you know"
"What is"
"I talked to so many people. And yet your the first person I enjoyed talking to."
After that we just talked and finished the task. We went outside to wait for our rides. 
"Your a really cool guy, Jake"
"Thx, not that many people think that"
"What about your friends?"
"Well, I only have one, or I think one. Well now two because we're friends."
"Your friends are supposed to be the people that you can count on. They want you to be yourself. If they don't want you to be yourself, why be your friend"
"Your wise Carol"
"Thx, just something my dad used to say. You know , before he kicked the bucket."
"What does kick the bucket mean"
"Its like saying he died in a clever way"
"Oh I'm sorry to hear"
"Not it's fine. It's not big deal"
"Wanna hang out tomorrow Carol?"
"Yeah sure"

We talked for so long I couldn't remember how long. Then her mom came and picked her up. We both said goodbye. Then I just smiled.
*I like her*
Me too
*Thx for making me short*
